Making Walls Stand Strong and Tall: Drywall Screws
With screws, drywall screws to be precise. Where do you find them? At Kaizon Hardware.
Let’s find out, what exactly are drywall screws?
Drywall screws, sometimes also known as sheetrock screws, are specialized structural fasteners used to secure full or partial sheets of drywall to wall studs in construction. Drywall screws are self-tapping screws with a cylindrical shaft typically made of metal. Drywall screws vary in lengths, gauge and threads, but they are typically categorized as fine or coarse due to the threads.
A drywall screw can be particularly characterized by its black finish. The black finish is achieved due to phosphate in the mineral coating that is applied to these screws. The coating is a preventative measure to minimize rusting and corrosion while the screws are exposed to wet joint compound or paint.
Instead of a slotted head, the Phillips Bulge head in these drywall screws provides additional control while installation.
But why should you invest in drywall screws?
- Good Material - The drywall screws are made of premium Hardened Steel, allowing it to look unblemished, new-as-ever for a longer duration.
- Bugle Head - The cone-like shape of the screw head helps the screw stay in place, and prevent the drywall screw from breaking the paper surface.
- Firm Grip - Drywall screws are threaded throughout their length which inturn maximizes their gripping power.
- Sharp Point - The point helps stab the screw and get the screw started into the drywall paper.
- Good Corrosion Resistance - Due to the black phosphate coating, the drywall screws remain unblemished for a longer duration.
- Precision - The precisely cut edges of the screws improve drill performance with very little effort.
- Convenient & User friendly - Easy to be installed and removed.
- Affordable - They are relatively cheap.
- The drywall screw head does not sink into the wood as easily as other wood screws.
Drywall screws are brittle, they don't bend, they snap. It is highly likely for the drywall screw heads to cleanly break off, leaving the cylindrical shaft embedded in the wood. No screw extractor can remove a headless screw.
